When I was waiting for a pot of rice to cook, I was mixing natto and egg together... when it turned really foamy and voluminous! And it was fluffy-light too! I thought it would go very well with noodles.

-All you need to season these noodles is the sauce that comes with the natto and an umeboshi pickled plum.
-Of course, you could use soba noodles or somen noodles instead.
-At Step 3, if you whip the egg white to incorporate lots of air, the sauce will become fine, light, and fluffy.
-I love to top with a mountain of nori seaweed and green onions. You could also add myoga ginger or shiso leaves. For 1 serving. Recipe by J_Rosemary

Steps

1

Cook the udon noodles, drain, rinse and chill in ice water. I usually use this frozen udon noodle portions that's microwaved for 3.5 minutes, then rinsed and cooled.
2

Combine the natto, the accompanying sauce and Japanese mustard, an egg, a pitted umeboshi plum, and ground sesame seeds in a serving bowl and start whipping.
3

Keep whipping the mixture until it's about this foamy. It'll get there in 1 to 2 minutes. Fluffy!
4

Add the udon noodles, and mix well.
5

Top with shredded nori seaweed and chopped green onions. Sprinkle ichimi chili pepper powder to add spice and bring the flavors together.
6

This is a spicy variation with kimchi, salt rubbed sliced cucumbers, and shredded crab stick. I also added sesame seeds and two drizzles of sesame oil.
7

I discovered that if you mix the natto and egg straight out of the fridge, the mixture becomes even more fluffy and foamy.
8

This variation has chicken tenders, the white part of a leek, finely chopped, ponzu sauce, plus 2 drizzles of sesame oil. It's refreshing and fluffy.
